Well not really! I fired up the little lady for the first time tonight. She let off some pretty good smoke from the stove top and stunk the place up pretty good. I wish I would have took some pictures of the amount of wood I put in the stove since it's shocking how long it has burned on such a small amount, I loaded at 8:30 and the stove top is still above 400*. I'm not ready for the cold weather but I'm pretty excited to see what this stove can do on a full load placed on top of a good coal bed.
